Anyone see Landon Slone during the Presser?

I'm sorry but it's time to trim the fat and unfortunetly Sloan is part of the fat. Even though he is not on scholarship Calipari will even get a better calibur walk on than Sloan. Not trying to be a jerk just realistic. The days of Tubby type players are in the past.

Again, Landon is a walk-on! Not a scholarship player, so it's very doubtful that Calipari would make any walk-ons leave the team.

Sure the "good ol Kentucky boy" thing was a good story at first, but the team now has Darius Miller and John Hood, two home breed Kentucky boys who can flat out play the game of basketball. Sure, East KY loves seeing Landon on the team, but outside East KY, he's a backseat to the other two KY boys.

I honestly think Landon could be something good at Georgetown, I mean come on, he played in games for UK, we all know he can play, but I don't think he should go there and be a practice guy for 3 more years when he could be on the court with the ball in his hands at game time. I think there would be many more stories for his kids someday if he plays at Georgetown. "Yeah son, I hit the game winner to beat Campbellsville in overtime."

Well obviously you two would rather play at the NAIA level (not a thing wrong with that, just saying) than be a practice player at Kentucky and that's fine. But Landon will be staying at Kentucky, unless he is told to leave the team by coach Calipari, which is doubtful since Landon is a walk-on.
